The Curriculum and Instruction (EDCI) graduate program, part of the Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership, provides pathways to earn a Master of Education (M.Ed.). Our department features diverse programs tailored to support students' academic and career objectives, whether in educational research, teaching, supervision, curriculum leadership, teacher preparation, or consulting across all educational levels - from elementary to higher education. Certain M.Ed. specializations prepare students for teacher certification, including options for those with non-education bachelor's degrees seeking teaching credentials. Additional M.Ed. tracks serve current educators and professionals, while our research-focused master's programs cater to those specializing in educational research through the Teaching & Learning, Policy & Leadership (TLPL) program.
This pathway culminates in both a Master's of Education (M.Ed.) and qualification for Maryland State Department of Education PreK-12 World Languages Certification, enabling graduates to teach Chinese, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, or Spanish in elementary or secondary schools.
Those applicants who have earned or will earn a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited college or university in the United States (or the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree from a nationally recognized institution in another country) are eligible to be considered for admission to the Graduate School at the University of Maryland
